SVN segmentation failure error

Question

I am trying to fix something in our SVN repo. However, I keep getting this error:

svn commit google-dev.xml -m "Updated with CS Tools configuration changes." Sending google-dev.xml Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output: /var/lib/svn/tnc/hooks/pre-commit: line 76: 25743 Segmentation fault /var/lib/svn/scripts/case-insensitive.py ${REPOS} ${TXN} 

I can not understand what is the reason for this. Is it in precommit hook python? Or, with SVN software having hook issues? Or something else?

Thanks!:)

Answer 1

The error message indicates that the configured hook script is malfunctioning. I suspect that this script is either configured incorrectly (are there no dependencies?), Or I really found another file in the repository with the same name, but it is different in the case.

If you use the official script from the svn repository, get the latest version from the svn trunk, because an older version of this script had problems with large repositories.
